Missing Teeth

Missing teeth are common for many reasons, at many ages, but we have solutions for everyone. Whatever the cause of your problem – and wherever your gap be – we can offer a personalised plan that will make your smile whole again.

Filling in missing teeth can give us confidence and prevent future complications. It gives us back a smile … but also offers peace of mind and material health benefits. Drop us a line about our range of options – or read more below.

Crowns

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have been treated with a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance – so that fits in with the rest of your smile.

Bridges

Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base – this gives them a solid structure and makes them hard-wearing. If you need a bridge in your smile line, porcelain is usually added to the base to make it more closely resemble real teeth. A bridge helps to strengthen the prepared teeth – and makes chewing and eating easier, since the teeth are now fixed and cannot come out.

Dentures

Good dentures start with a great fit. Smile More Solihull offers customised dentures to clients across Solihull. If you have a few or even all of your teeth missing, one solution is to speak with us about dentures. A denture is made from hard-wearing material that mimics the look of teeth and gums to give you mouth a natural appearance. Dentures give you back a smile – and, with a Smile More set, no one will know the difference.
